This may be the future of 'Destiny'

Those of you eager to get your hands on some new "Destiny" content will be happy to hear that we know a little bit about its next expansion — namely, that it will be called "Rise of Iron."

"Destiny" is a massive multiplayer first-person shooter that came out in 2014. Since then, it's received several expansion packs that added additional armor, weapons, missions, and greatly expanded the game's story.

The news of the game's upcoming expansion came from an image posted on Reddit ahead of any sort of formal reveal. The image appears to show Lord Saladin, the character in charge of the "Iron Banner" multiplayer events, holding a giant flaming weapon — either an axe or a hammer, by the looks of it.

A source "familiar with Bungie" told Kotaku that the image was legitimate, saying that the expansion "will feature a new raid and will be larger than the two year-one DLC packs," referring to "The Dark Below" and "House of Wolves."

Some commenters in the Reddit thread are speculating that the weapon Lord Saladin is brandishing in the image will be a new "Heavy Weapon" option, similar to the unlockable swords in "The Taken King" expansion that came out in September 2015.

Details are still sparse, but we'll likely hear more about "Rise of Iron" at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), a massive annual video game conference held every June in Los Angeles.
